My vision is to see clients move forward, experience progress, improve themselves, and come to a place of thriving personally and in relationship with others.
Welcome to Jill Gorman Counseling located in Starkville, MS. My primary focus in counseling is to assess where clients are and aid them in aligning their thoughts and behaviors in order to achieve their goals and desires. I believe change is possible. I have witnessed my clients overcome and move forward after facing what seemed like insurmountable odds. Does change take work? Yes. But, is it worth it to become the person (or couple or parent) you want to be? Definitely!
I have experience working with children, teenagers, and adults facing issues from depression/anxiety and loss to trauma and relational issues. Using an integrative approach, I aim to provide my patients with a safe environment where trust is created and goals are quickly established.
